It is mainly like a 360 video, with a comic-like style in black and white.

WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO: You hold Vive controllers in each hand, which allows varying degrees of interactivity. I imagine it will be viewable in others, but the full experience requires accurate spatial tracking and hand controllers. In the “bird” stage, waving them causes your wings to flap.
